    One tactic on social media is to delete as much as you can, change all your profile data so it’s bogus, and retroactively revise as much of your comment history so that it’s meaningless, such as NSA haikus.

    That way the account may not be closed, but it’s toxic. It will poison algorithm analyis, your consumer profile and AI scraping.

    The Escapist refused to let me close my account in the early 2010s. So I did this.
